Belatedly, the animal protection movement is remembering this noble legacy. In 2002, Matthew Scully, a devout Catholic and senior speech writer to President Bush, published Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy, an elegant moral tome against animal abuse. Today, volunteers of the Christian Vegetarian Association hand out leaflets entitled “Are We Good Stewards of God’s Creation?” at mega-churches and Christian rock concerts across the nation...
...concentration of society’s brightest minds and best resources. Synergistic cooperation, not fragmentation and isolation, are generative of academic discovery. To assail the Ivies for “stealing” teachers from their more minimally endowed peers is to imply that these professors are the dominion of public universities. Yet, these professors do not belong to public institutions any more than they do to the Ivies. Rather, they choose to teach at Harvards, Yales, and Princetons because of the intellectual opportunities that such positions afford. Indeed, the meritocratic sensibilities of American education dictate that the best educators...
...Latessa lost his first match in double overtime but came back to capture two straight wins, including a major decision.

For years, pro-choice advocates rallied behind the idea that abortion was a private decision by a woman exercising dominion over her body. There is something odd about encouraging a woman who has exercised a private right to go public with it. This irony is apparently lost on the “Speak Out” movement.What is most troubling is that this pro-choice movement of speaking...
...lost to both the Bears and Big Green in 2007 to finish third. Brown, who is ranked No. 6 in the nation and won the Ivy championship, will have a bye through the first round before taking on the winner of Providence (9-7-2) and Old Dominion (12-8-3) in Rhode Island on Nov. 28. Dartmouth, who finished second in the Ivy League, will face local rival Vermont (9-9-2) at home in the first round. The Crimson will look to improve on last year’s showing. After defeating Binghampton 2-1 in the first...
